Fawlty Towers, Black Adder, Jeeves & Wooster. Mr. Bean, though that one is not to everyone’s taste.

“Yes, Minister” and “Yes, Prime Minister” are the gold standard of British sitcoms. They were Maggie Thatcher’s favorite shows, and everything in the UK stopped when the shows were on. The DVDs of the two shows are my desert island DVDs.

Not a comedy per se , but death in paradise is a great series if you get a chance. It is the most popular program right now in the UK.\\It’s on Netflix.

Try “Till Death Do Us Part”, the show that “All In The Family” was derived from.
